She double-checked her door to make certain it was locked and then she padded to the bathroom. A bath, she thought. That's what I need... a bath. Not a shower. A bath will help me relax.
She filled the tub, tossed in some bath beads, turned the radio on in the living room, grabbed a magazine and decided to put the night and him out of her mind. She slipped out of the old football jersey (the last reminder of her him), slid her panties off and stepped into the tub. She let herself sink into the hot water. The heat seeped into her bones.
She settled back on her bath pillow (a wise investment at the Dollar Store) and flipped open the magazine. She had almost finished the article about 25 ways to save money on your spring wardrobe when the light when out. She blinked. And blinked again. Thinking that the power was out in the entire apartment if not an even larger area, she said, quietly, but aloud, "Damn it."
A voice, silky smooth and very masculine, responded, "Uh, uh, no ugly talk, Vonna." And then there was silence.
For a moment she was certain she had imagined it. But she looked toward the bathroom door and realized the lights were on in the living room and there was a large, dark form shadowing the bathroom door. She started to scream.
Before she got the breath to her throat, a warm, strong, large hand clamped over her mouth. She could barely breathe, not because it stifled her nose but out of cold, stark fear. In a flash, she felt a gag settle over her mouth as she realized that one very large hand was holding both her wrists still under the water. Her heart pounded painfully; she was being attacked in her own home.
The gag firmly in place, she felt her sleep mask lowered over her eyes. She was now blind. She couldn't scream. All she could do was feel the hand around her wrists. Her wrists were being held in a firm grip but not so tightly that it caused pain... until she tried to flail away. The grip tightened. "Uh, uh, don't fight me, Vonna," came a soft whisper. "You cannot win."
She then felt a rope of some kind going about her wrists. It was tied quickly and firmly; she couldn't wiggle at all. But she was too terrified to notice that. Instead, she felt a hand sliding up her arm, moving slowly across her chest and down to her left breast. It cupped her full breast, hefted its weight and squeezed. Fingers found her nipple and rubbed and played until she felt it tighten.
"You like this, Vonna," whispered the voice. "I can tell."
She thrashed around, sending a wall of water everywhere. She heard him laugh as he pushed her head under the water. She stayed submerged for only a moment but it was enough to terrify her. She quit fighting.
"That's a good girl," the voice was amused but almost sounded soothing.
She heard him as he reached for the soap. She felt him as he fumbled for the washcloth. And then she felt him pull her up out of the water and push her to her knees. He washed her mound slowly and then let the soapy washcloth run over her bare butt, into the crease between her rounded cheeks. He was washing her most intimate parts and she was too terrified to stop him.
He pushed her down so her hips were below the surface of the water again and, using his fingers, he rubbed her mound, slicked down her crack, rinsing her. He laughed quietly, "We don't want any soap left. It would irritate."
With one hand still on her ass, she felt him rub the bar of soap across her breasts. When they were lathered, he dropped the soap into the water and rubbed her breasts slowly, as if he had to memorize every centimeter of skin. He took his time around her nipples and the sensitive underside of her large bosom. He whispered again in her ear, "This feels good, Vonna. It feels as good to you as it does to me."
He raised her up and helped her out of the tub. She felt him rub her body with the towel she had lain near the tub. "There is no need to dry your pussy," he whispered. "It's gonna stay wet for a long time tonight."
Fear made her brave and she lunged away from him. But it was a useless attempt. He simply hauled her back against his hard chest and told her to behave. She already deserved punishment for her use of an ugly word; did she want to make it worse?
She stilled. Fear turned her skin cold and he felt the goose bumps covering her pale flesh. He ran his hands over her arms, across her heaving breasts, down her belly, brushing the hair on her mound. "Oh, this will never do," he whispered in her ear. He pushed her down on her knees and lowered her so that she was on the bath rug. Then he gently forced her shoulders back. Once she was reclined, he put his hand on her belly. "Don't move," he whispered. She didn't dare.
She had no idea what was happening, what would happen next. But she knew she could not fight him, not the way he had stacked the odds against her. She heard him rummaging around in the bathroom. Apparently, he was finding everything he was looking for close by. The pressure of his hand never left her naked belly. Finally, she felt him push her legs apart. She refused at first, her knees locked together. But he took both his hand and placed them on the insides of her knees; she could not stand up to the relentless strength he used against her. Her legs parted, only the fact that the light was off preventing him from seeing her exposed pussy gave her even a whit of comfort.
He must have guessed her thoughts. She heard a soft 'click and knew the overhead light had just been switched on. She felt the heat rising, a blush moving up her chest to cover her neck and face. He laughed quietly. "Don't be embarrassed. You're beautiful," he whispered. "And I'm going to make you even more beautiful."
